Unlike many Russian bands and singers, who work hard at promoting themselves in the West, the band Otpetye Moshenniky (Dyed-in-the-Wool Swindlers) has set its sights on Mongolia, the weekly Mir Novostei reported.One of the group's hits, "Lyubi menya, lyubi" (Love Me, Love) has been translated into Mongolian and is now a hit in Mongolia, performed by a local boy band. The Moshenniky themselves have not bothered to learn Mongolian and know only a few words from the song's Mongolian version.Some suspect the translation was ordered by the Mongolian government, which is concerned about the country's demographic situation. After all, Mongolia's population lags far behind neighboring China's. If the suspicion proves correct, Otpetye Moshenniky may be awarded a medal in the future for its distinguished contribution to increasing Mongolia's birth rate.
